Thank's Remmelt! Seems I lost the stupid exif again in some processing step, but that was as late as 3rd of october.

And I already spotted one this year!!! ;o)...
As they overwinter as adult they tend to be amongst the first out and about again. Last weekend I got no shot as the specimen was very shy and behind a fence, but a bit of warm sun and a couple of nectar filled coltsfoots, speedwells and such outside a little concrete ruin by the lake in Manzell made it come out of it's hiding place and check if it is spring already. I also got a glimpse of some yellow, to far to see if it was a brimstone or postillion. Tuesday we had a snowstorm however, I hope the butterflies that dared an outing before that survived in safe dormitories.

Took me a moment to fully take in what you'd captured..... Nice, unusual perspective!
